I must have missed his most recent patch that changed the result to return a Python object. I thought earlier versions didn't do that. My objection is not particularly solid. At this point it's largely a wish to avoid the extra overhead (there are some camps that already complain about NumPy having too much indexing overhead --- although they should be using Python lists for there purposes if indexing overhead really is a problem). As it appears that several people feel this is the best way forward, then I'll re-work my NumPy code. I still appreciate the change that allows other Python objects to be integers and eliminates the "only true integers allowed" flavor of several places in the Python code. Thanks for all your hard work. -Travis _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
